Rugby League Trivia Question

Alright guys, let me clarify - I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER. I'm hoping one of you might.

Q: How old was the oldest player to make his first grade debut?

 

[Eels Dude]

It would depend on whether anyone has an authentic copy of Scott Minto's birth certificate which proves exactly when he was born.

 

[MatthewA]

No idea. Probably someone like Palmer Wapau or Fred Briggs? I'm most likely way off and it was someone years ago.

There was a steelers player in 1994 called Mark Taylor who was 27....he would be up there.

 

[Bob]

Craig Trindall was around the 29 mark when he made his debut for Penrith a couple of years ago

 

[milchcow]

William 'Bubba' Kennedy was in his late twenties (possibly 27) when he debuted for the Tigers in 96.

If you want to go on a technicality, Rd 1 1908 would have had plenty of older debutants.

Craig's 31 this year and made his debut in 2006. Do the math.;-)

Counting that, Arthur Hennessy made his first grade RL debut at 31 and a half.

Charlie Tonga was about 28 or 29 when he debuted Canterbury I think.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Jason Bulgarelli debuted for the raiders at the age of 27 so he could be pretty close

 

[nqcowboy87]

itd be charlie tonga i think. hutch maiva debuted fro cronulla at 28, but going back through the histroy of the game there was probably someone in the 60's who debuted for like newtown at like 32 or something, and whats with the name timmah

 

[Benji Magic]

When the broncos came into the comp you had the likes of Lewis, Miles, Conescu, Dowling, Niebling, Scott who would have all been in their late 20's.

There was a guy by the name of George Tuakura who played for the Warriors around 05-07 who would have been just shy of thirty when he made is first grade debut.

 

[Whoosh]

I don't think George ever played first grade.

 

[Green Machine]

Gary Winter for Manly would have been a fair age when he debuted,

I stand corrected he was on standby a few times I just figured he made at least a game or two.
